Paul Marin, just a quick point.

Suarez is the author of his own demise.

[Paul Marin]

Cheats cheat!!!! It is what they do. The thing is that he is such a talentEd footballer that he does not need to and so even when he knows he is being scrutinized for diving, he cannot help himself.

Gamma, aren't you aware that there is a cultural dimension that cannot be overlooked? For example, when Maradonna handled the ball into England's net, the entire world saw the infraction as an injustice, but not so in Argentina. There are places in the world, Italy, Argentina, Uruguay among them where what you call "cheating" is actually taught to kids (i.e. showing them how to decieve the ref) dive, fein injury, shirt tug etc is far more prevalent in parts of the world than you may think. Suarez just hasn't adjusted. Some do - some don't. I am more inclined to give Suarez a bligh than the English players who dive as they (the English) want to carry on as if they are "holier than thou".

Wear a short skirt - get raped - your fault? Huth stamp in the man chest and there is not even one word about it; injustice even to the lowest of the low is still injust. Fairness has to be the order of the day.

No need to say you will give Suarez the bligh, I think we all know that by now.

The truth is Huth did step on Suarez's chest that is a fact and it went unpunished. That doesn't change the fact that Suarez was trying to win an Olympic medal for diving.

it maybe taught but you do it at your own risk. You can't excuse the behavior.

[Peter R]

I didn't see the match but if YOU say he was stamped it muusa did happen ... i am surprised though you don't buy Paul's stance because it is one of your favourite defences whenever a Manute get called for anything... i.e. how come the opposition was not reamed for the same or similar infraction... I am surprised.

But the point is, some people are more equal than others, in the English media and this forum.

PeterR, I always talk the truth ... because people don't accept it is not my fault.

Have I excused the behaviour? I have been noted here and elsewhere for calling Maradona a tief, TH14 a tief and Suarez a scapegoat. But I have not ever condoned Suarez or anyone else diving.

Well, we agree that Suarez dived and Huth stamped on his chest. Where we take it next may be a point of departure. My point is that BECAUSE it was Suarez, there is no outcry, which is effery. That's where the hypocrits can take their business and smoke it. We can't have it both ways - fairness has to be the order of the day no matter who is involved.

Why you left off the part of me saying Suarez dived? You jes' want to argue. Guwey!! An hol' dis -->

[Gamma]

so you categorize the other two as tief (for handball that led to them winning a game) and suarez as a scapegoat EVEN though by your very own definition of cheat simulation (diving) amounts to trying to trick the referee.

perhaps if you restate that all 3 a tief yuh might start to have an appearance of not being BIASED!

You need to go back to Miss Johnson Grade 2 English class. My exact words were: "I have been [past tence] noted here and elsewhere for calling Maradona a tief, TH14 a tief and Suarez a scapegoat." In other words, I was only restating what I have stated before. So had I said "I have been noted here and elsewhere for calling Maradona a tief, TH14 a tief and Suarez a tief" unu woulda call me lie an' jump down me troat. :kissteeth:

[Gamma]

same comment! all now yuh nuh call him a ief! again dat only AMPLIFY my point! hanks again.
